Note: Parameters measured included alanine aminotransferase (AA), albumin (A), alkaline phosphatase (Ak), aspartate aminotransferase (AsA), bile salts/acids (B), cholesterol (C), creatinine kinase (CK), direct bilirubin (DB), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SD), total protein (TP), and urea nitrogen (U). Abbreviations indicate the parameter in which a difference (p<.001) was identified and the dose levels (1, 2 and/or 3, shown as superscript) at which a difference occurred.
